i believe that 'fortune in men's eyes' played around the corner on montgomery in a theatre that was under city disco. that is also where 'boys in the band' played and 'decline and fall...cole porter' also played. little fox also had the first production in sf of 'the fantasticks' and after 'cuckoo's nest' closed, the maltby shire review 'closer than ever'. after 'fantasticks' closed at the little fox it moved to a theatre in ghiradelli square in what is now the fairmont hotel suites. 'you're a good man charlie brown' also moved there and they ran in rep. this space in ghiradelli was not the same space where the hungry i moved to and where 'dames at sea' opened. that space (where ana mandara restaurant is now) was turned into a movie theatre for awhile. the lost little theatres of sf.

Thanks for jarring my memory. I invested in the Los Angeles production that starred a very young Don Johnson and Sal Mineo. That was his last performance before his untimely death.

I believe Sal Mineo's last performance was in SF in the comedy "P.S. Your Cat is Dead."

I has the opportunity to interview him near the end of the show's run. He was funny, kind and fascinating.

I first met this charming man when I was part of the camera crew on Rebel Without a Cause. I maintained a friendship with him until his untimely death.

James Franco has made a film of his last days on earth that has scenes of the rehearsals of "P.S. Your Cat is Dead". The film is called SAL
